Another person did this before, used more than one variable, made a mistake that led to a WRONG answer. Now, another person has done it and still, 
\n" );
document.write( "you're given directions that'll lead to a WRONG answer! 
\n" );
document.write( "Here are the CORRECT formulation and the CORRECT answers. So, throw the following in the GARBAGE: 
\n" );
document.write( "Let the amount of 35% solution to mix, be T
\n" );
document.write( "Then the amount of 75% solution is, 33T
\n" );
document.write( "Also, amount of 25% solution to mix is, 64 - (T + 33T) = 64 - 34T
\n" );
document.write( "We then get: .35T + .75(33T + .25(64 - 34T) = .5(64)
\n" );
document.write( ".35T + 24.75T + 16 - 8.5T = 32
\n" );
document.write( "16.6T = 32 - 16
\n" );
document.write( "16.6T = 16
\n" );
document.write( "Amount of 35% solution to mix, or 
\n" );
document.write( "Amount of 75% solution to mix = 
\n" );
document.write( "Amount of 25% solution to mix = 
\n" );
document.write( "Accept NO OTHER answers!
\n" );
document.write( "I leave the check for you to do!\r

document.write( "Tutor @IKLEYN! He should be IGNORED. He's an IDIOT and a racist who NEVER corrects the other people who make a VAST number of errors. He's
\n" );
document.write( "behind the times and wants to tell everyone how to do mathematics as if he knows it. He's just an OLD RACIST GOAT who wants to NITPICK and
\n" );
document.write( "CRITICIZE other people whose RACE he doesn't like! Do you realize that she chooses to pick fights with you and I? He needs to be IGNORED
